DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

REGARDING SBA 504 LOAN CHARGES & REQUIREMENTS

SBA SECTION 504 ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT The following disclosures apply to the United States Small Business Administration’s (SBA) portion of the permanent “take-out” financing (called the “debenture”) provided by PeopleFund (The “CDC”) under the SBA 504 Loan Program. This statement is not intended to be all-inclusive. Please read this Disclosure Statement carefully and request additional information if there is anything you do not understand. In signing this Disclosure Statement, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to abide by the provisions set forth. Your private sector lender (The “Bank”) should be consulted for the terms and conditions of its portion of the permanent financing. After SBA has approved your 504 loan application, the debenture financing will be completed in two separate steps. ♦ First, the CDC closes your loan. Typically, you attend the closing with the CDC attorney.

Sometimes, the closing is processed by mail. ♦ Second, your debenture is funded, which occurs about 5 weeks after closing. SBA 504

Funding occurs once per month, on approximately the second Wednesday of every month.

1. NO REPRESENTATIONS - The Certified Development Corporation (CDC) may not and cannot ensure the success of your 504 loan application. The actual funding of the 504 debenture and disbursement of the proceeds to you is subject to SBA’s approval of your application and is also subject to your satisfactory compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in SBA’s Authorization and Debenture Guaranty (SBA Form 1248). By signing this Disclosure Statement, you acknowledge that the CDC has made no representations to you, and that you have not relied on any representations made by CDC, regarding the assurance of SBA’s approval of your loan or the sufficiency of your qualifications to receive a loan through the 504 program.

2. CREDIT CRITERIA - Although the 504 loan program is a lending program for healthy and expanding small businesses, start-up businesses may be funded provided they meet SBA’s credit criteria. The credit criteria require the small business to be able to demonstrate adequate cash flow from operations to repay debt, adequate working capital, and sufficient collateral. Additionally, by signing this Disclosure Statement you hereby authorize the Certified Development Corporation or any of its affiliates to make all inquiries it deems necessary to verify information to determine credit-worthiness. Further, by signing this Disclosure Statement, you agree that the Certified Development Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries, at any time and in its sole discretion, may disclose the status of the proposed transaction and credit data and other information concerning or relating to the undersigned or the proposed transaction to the SBA, referral sources, franchisers, vendors, loan participants, and agents of both the undersigned and the CDC.

3. CDC AUTHORITY - While the CDC is responsible for the preparation of the loan application sent to the SBA, the SBA sets all loan conditions. Any changes to the loan conditions require SBA approval submitted through the CDC.

Rev. 09/2/2020

4. LOAN FEES - The “net debenture proceeds” is the CDC’s portion of the total project (maximum of 40%)

financed by SBA/CDC. The following loan fees will be paid by the Borrower for the SBA portion of the financing. All of these fees are included in the 504 loan (gross debenture): A. CDC Processing Fee – 1.5% of the net debenture proceeds. B. SBA Reserve Fee - 0.5% of the net debenture proceeds (Subject to change by SBA) C. SBA Funding Fee - 0.25% of the net debenture proceeds D. Underwriting Fee

(1) 20-year debenture - the sum of the net debenture amount, CDC Processing Fee, SBA Guaranty Fee, and Funding Fee divided by 0.99600; round this number up to the next highest thousand; multiply this number by 0.004. (2) 10-year debenture - the sum of the net debenture amount, CDC Processing Fee, SBA Guaranty Fee, and Funding Fee divided by 0.99625; round this number up to the next highest thousand; multiply this number by 0.00375.

5. CLOSING COSTS

♦ CDC Closing Costs – Includes CDC closing attorney fee and specific closing costs. These costs are

paid at the closing table. (Up to $3,500 of these costs will be included in the financing and reimbursed to the borrower.)

♦ Other Closing Costs – Other closing costs include, but not limited to, title work (i.e. abstracting, updating of titles, copies, etc.), the title insurance policy premium, lien search fees and survey fees, your attorney’s fees, recording and express mail fees. Borrower pays these fees out-of-pocket at closing. These fees are not included in the 504 financing and not reimbursed to the borrower when the 504 loan is funded. These fees must be paid at the SBA loan closing table.

6. SERVICING, GUARANTY AND PARTICIPATION FEES - The following servicing fees will be paid

by the Borrower on the unpaid balance of the CDC loan, such unpaid balance, to be determined at 5 year intervals at the beginning of such interval. The monthly CDC/SBA note payment amount reported to the Borrower will include these fees as part of the monthly payment. (These fees are already built into the monthly loan payment). ♦ CDC Servicing Fee: .625% - 1.00% per annum ♦ CSA (Wells Fargo) Servicing Fee: 0.1% per annum ♦ Borrower Guaranty Fee: 0.3205% per annum. ♦ Borrower Guaranty Fee for Debt Refi Program: 0.3220% per annum

The senior collateral lender (the bank) will be charged a one-time participation fee which is 50 basis points of the bank loan portion.

7. INTEREST RATES - The interest rate on the 10 and 20/25 year 504 loans are based on a “spread” over the five (5) and ten (10) year US Treasury rates, respectively. Any interest rate quoted to you is an estimate and will actually be set by SBA on the date of the debenture sale, which is usually thirty to forty-five days after the execution of the documents for the permanent “take-out” loan. The permanent “take-out” loan will not be funded until the debenture sale. The participating lender may establish its own interest rate, provided that the rate is legal, reasonable, and reflects the prevailing level of interest rates in the market area at the time for loans of similar risk, maturity, location, fixed or variable rate or other relevant factors.

8. AUTOMATIC DEBIT - The SBA requires a payment program whereby the Borrower’s 504 loan payments are automatically debited each month from the Borrower’s bank account.

9. LATE CHARGE - A charge of $100, or 5% of the late amount, whichever is greater, will be charged to the

Borrower in the event funds are insufficient on the debit date.

Rev. 09/2/2020

10. IDENTITY VERICATION - CDC is required by SBA Policy Notice 5000-901 to request certain documentation of borrowers in order to provide a verification of their identity. Any portion of the information gathered during the loan process may be used in the verification process.

11. BORROWER’S INJECTION - The borrower’s equity contribution to the project must be a minimum of

10% of the total project amount (minimum of 15% for companies with less than 2 full years of operations) and must be in the form of cash (first to be spent) or project-related real estate. Should the project being financed involve a limited or single-purpose building or structure, a minimum 15% equity contribution will be required. Additionally, should the project involve a business with less than 2 full years of operations and a limited or single-purpose building or structure, a minimum 20% equity contribution will be required. Borrower must document the equity injection with copies of cancelled checks, paid invoices or other information acceptable to CDC and SBA. If any of the contribution is borrowed and secured with any of the 504 project assets, such loan must be subordinated to the liens securing the 504 loan and may not be repaid at a faster rate than the 504 loan unless prior written approval is obtained from CDC/SBA. A copy of any debt instrument of such loan must be supplied to the CDC in the application.

12. MISCELLANEOUS LOAN TERMS - The closing documents for the 504 loan are likely to contain the following provisions: ♦ Prior CDC/SBA approval required for:

(A) The reorganization, merger, consolidation or change of ownership of the business of the Borrower;

(B) The sale or further encumbrance of the collateral; (C) The payment of bonuses and/or distributions upon capital stock, including but

not limited to the payment of dividends. ♦ Hazard insurance, from a carrier with a Best rating of A or better, covering fire, lightning,

extended coverage, vandalism, and malicious mischief for the maximum insurable value(s) on all property on which liens are taken, liability insurance, workers’ compensation, and (if needed) flood insurance;

♦ The requirement for annual financial statements to be submitted by the borrower; ♦ Total annual compensation of officers, owner and/or principals of the small business may be

subject to limitation under adverse financial conditions as determined by CDC/SBA. It may also be required that all inter-company debt with affiliates and/or officers, directors or shareholders be subordinated to the debt incurred through CDC/SBA.

13. LEASING AND SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENTS

♦ Existing Buildings: 504 funds can be used for the purchase and/or renovation of an existing building so long as the small business occupies 51% or more of the building space, and no 504 loan funds are used to renovate any part of the building not used by the small business.

♦ New Construction: 504 funds can be used for the construction of industrial and commercial space as long as the small business occupies at least 60% of the building space upon occupancy, and 80% within ten years. The remaining 20% can be permanently leased.

14. COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF LIFE AND/OR DISABILITY INSURANCE - Life and/or disability insurance may be required to insure against the risk of death or disability of a person critical to the success of the small business or one whose continued earning power is being relied upon in making the loan. If it is necessary to require one or more principals of the small business to obtain life and/or disability insurance, the coverage required shall be only in such minimum amounts necessary to protect the loan.

15. ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL - Additional collateral may be required. Generally, the value of the assets acquired with the 504 loan proceeds should constitute adequate collateral, however, all 504 loan are to be so secured as to reasonably assure repayment. Should there be a shortfall in the appraised value of the

Rev. 09/2/2020

assets being acquired, additional collateral may be required in the form of personal and/or business assets owned by the Borrower and/or small business.

16. PREPAYMENT – The CDC loan is pre-payable. Payment of the entire outstanding balance may be made prior to the maturity date, but no partial prepayments may be made. Any prepayment during the first half of the stated term must be accompanied by a prepayment premium. The premium is calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the Note times a premium percentage. A schedule of the dollar amount of the premium and the semi-annual payment dates will be provided to you after the funding of the 504 loan. In order to process a request for prepayment, CDC requires written notification at least 60 days prior to the semi-annual prepayment date.

The debenture interest rate determines the amount of the prepayment premium. The premium begins in

year one. It is calculated by multiplying the debenture rate by the principal balance of the debenture. The premium declines each year by 1/10 over the first 10 years on a 20/25 year debenture. After the 10th year, the premium is 0%.

Example: 20-Year Debenture Debenture Rate: 2.98%

Annual Decrease: 2.98% ÷ 10 = .298

Year Premium 1 2.98% 2 2.682% 3 2.384% 4 2.086% 5 1.788% 6 1.490% 7 1.192% 8 .894% 9 .596%

10 .298% 11 0%

On a 10-year debenture, the premium declines each year by 1/5 of the semi-annual debenture rate over the first five years. After the 5th year, the premium is 0%.

Example: 10-Year Debenture Semi-annual debenture Rate: 1% Annual Decrease: 1.00% ÷ 5 = .2

Year Premium

1 1% 2 .8% 3 .6% 4 .4% 5 .2% 6 0%

17. PERSONAL HISTORY STATEMENT - Personal History Statement (SBA Form 912) is required for

each officer and director (regardless of ownership) and each proprietor, partner and stockholder with 20% or more ownership of the Business; and each owner with 20% or more ownership of the Holding Company.

Rev. 09/2/2020

18. ASSUMPTION FEE – 504 loans are assumable. A fee of 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan will be charged by the CDC if the loan is assumed by another borrowing entity. In addition, the borrower must pay all processing costs and expenses incurred by CDC and/or the SBA in connection with the assumption.

19. JOB REQUIREMENTS - The small business must preserve or create, within two years after the loan is funded, one job opportunity per $75,000 of 504 financing. National objectives may be applied in lieu of this requirement.

20. FINANCING OF MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT - The Borrower, prior to the 504 loan closing, must provide CDC/SBA with a list of the machinery and equipment purchased with loan funds. Collateral should be described by quantity and "type," including brand name. Items costing $5,000 or more should include the serial number.

21. DO-IT-YOURSELF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS - Situations where the borrower and/or small

business has acted as their own contractor have proved to be generally unsatisfactory and cause considerable problems in the closing process. Such an approach generally shall not be permitted unless the applicant is qualified as a building contractor.

22. PROJECT COST OVERRUNS - The Borrower must pay for any additional project costs incurred as a result of overruns or unanticipated expenses in constructing/financing the project. Cost overruns to be funded by any source other than additional equity provided by Borrower must be approved by CDC/SBA prior to the 504 loan closing.

23. SURVEY - An “as built” survey sufficient to remove title policy exceptions must be provided by a certified surveyor prior to the 504 loan closing. The survey must include a flood hazard designation along with the physical address of the property. The survey must be certified to CDC, SBA and the Title Company.

24. CHILD SUPPORT - Borrower certifies that no principal of the small business who owns at least 50% of

the voting interest of the company is delinquent more than 60 days under the terms of any (a) administrative order, (b) court order, or (c) repayment agreement that requires payment of child support.

25. CDC SCHEDULE OF FEES - A good-faith deposit of $2,500 will be collected prior to processing the

loan application. A Balance of 1% of the net debenture (with credit given for the deposit) will be considered earned when the Debenture Authorization is issued by SBA.

A. Before SBA has Approved the Loan Request (Loan Authorization not yet issued):

(1) If borrower withdraws the loan request (for any reason), the good-faith deposit will be refunded (less costs incurred.)

(2) If SBA declines the loan request, the good-faith deposit will be refunded (less costs incurred.)

B. After SBA has Approved the Loan Request (Loan Authorization has been issued):

(1) One percent (1%) of the net debenture is considered earned by the CDC, due and payable by the borrower at this time.

(2) CDC will forward the SBA Loan Authorization and an invoice for the 1% to the borrower. Borrower shall return the executed Loan Authorization and a check for the 1% to the CDC. When the loan funds, this 1% will be refunded to the borrower. If the loan does not fund (for any reason), the 1% is considered earned by the CDC and will not be refunded to the borrower.

26. LOAN FUNDING - The funding of a 504 loan does not occur at closing. It occurs approximately 30 to 45

days after the closing of the loan provided all requirements set-forth in SBA’s Authorization have been

Rev. 09/2/2020

satisfied. It is CDC’s desire to fund the 504 loan in a timely matter. To do so, we encourage the Borrower to stay in touch with their CDC representative during the construction and/or interim funding period.

27. GUARANTEES - SBA requires the guaranty of any person/entity owning 20% or more of the small business, irrespective of the form of ownership or entity involved.

28. CREDIT REPORTS - CDC (and/or its representative/agent), Banker, and/or Lender may pull credit reports for each principal. A report may also be pulled on the subject Small Business Concern and affiliates. Any credit information may be discussed and shared among the CDC, Bank, Lender, SBA, or other associates involved in the processing and servicing of the loan.

29. FINANCIAL INFORMATION – Loan applicant authorizes the exchange of financial statements, tax

returns, and other information between CDC, Bank, Lender, SBA, loan underwriters, credit analysts, loan packagers, and other associates involved in the loan application process and servicing of the loan.

30. MEDIA RELEASE – Loan applicant authorizes CDC to utilize the company name and logo for digital

marketing, social media promotion, blog posts, and other print media releases. Applicant understands that media announcements aid in promoting the CDC’s loan programs which foster economic growth in the State of Texas.
